Primary Care Enhancement Project

Parent to Parent is working with Country to Coast, formerly PHN to deliver The Healthy Together Project.

The aim of the project is to deliver better health outcomes and experiences for people with intellectual disability and their families. It will improve the knowledge and skills of primary health care professionals in providing health care to people with intellectual disabilities.

P2P staff and members of Loud and Clear Qld share their personal stories and learnings which feature on a series of Learning Modules.

Your Service Your Rights

Parent to Parent partnered with Inclusion Australia to deliver Your Service Your Rights workshops across Queensland.

This amazing project trained Peer Facilitators to deliver workshops to support people with intellectual disability to better understand their rights when accessing NDIS service providers.  This great workshop covered Rights, NDIS Code of Conduct and How to Make a Complaint.

Towards Inclusive Practice
Including Everyone.

This project was about providing expertise and advice to help make Government more inclusive for people with intellectual disability.

P2P partnered with Inclusion Australia to deliver this project.  A national network of people with an intellectual disability worked on the project as Inclusion Advisors to discuss and provide advice on issues and develop resources for Government on inclusive practice.

Thank you to Taum, Callum, Chelsea, Robbie and Ethan for their great work on this project.
